Deliberate Design Flaw In ChatGPT-5 Sun Aug 17, 2025 08:04 | Mind Agent
Socratic Dialog Between ChatGPT-5 and Mind Agent Reveals Fatal and Deliberate 'Design by Construction' Flaw
This design flaw in ChatGPT-5's default epistemic mode subverts what the much touted ChatGPT-5 can do... so long as the flaw is not tickled, any usage should be fine---The epistemological question is: how would anyone in the public, includes you reading this (since no one is all knowing), in an unfamiliar domain know whether or not the flaw has been tickled when seeking information or understanding of a domain without prior knowledge of that domain???!
This analysis is a pretty unique and significant contribution to the space of empirical evaluation of LLMs that exist in AI public world... at least thus far, as far as I am aware! For what it's worth--as if anyone in the ChatGPT universe cares as they pile up on using the "PhD level scholar in your pocket".
According to GPT-5, and according to my tests, this flaw exists in all LLMs... What is revealing is the deduction GPT-5 made: Why ?design choice? starts looking like ?deliberate flaw?.
People are paying $200 a month to not just ChatGPT, but all major LLMs have similar Pro pricing! I bet they, like the normal user of free ChatGPT, stay in LLM's default mode where the flaw manifests itself. As it did in this evaluation.
AI Reach: Gemini Reasoning Question of God Sat Aug 02, 2025 20:00 | Mind Agent
Evaluating Semantic Reasoning Capability of AI Chatbot on Ontologically Deep Abstract (bias neutral) Thought
I have been evaluating AI Chatbot agents for their epistemic limits over the past two months, and have tested all major AI Agents, ChatGPT, Grok, Claude, Perplexity, and DeepSeek, for their epistemic limits and their negative impact as information gate-keepers.... Today I decided to test for how AI could be the boon for humanity in other positive areas, such as in completely abstract realms, such as metaphysical thought. Meaning, I wanted to test the LLMs for Positives beyond what most researchers benchmark these for, or have expressed in the approx. 2500 Turing tests in Humanity?s Last Exam.. And I chose as my first candidate, Google DeepMind's Gemini as I had not evaluated it before on anything.
Israeli Human Rights Group B'Tselem finally Admits It is Genocide releasing Our Genocide report Fri Aug 01, 2025 23:54 | 1 of indy
We have all known it for over 2 years that it is a genocide in Gaza
Israeli human rights group B'Tselem has finally admitted what everyone else outside Israel has known for two years is that the Israeli state is carrying out a genocide in Gaza
Western governments like the USA are complicit in it as they have been supplying the huge bombs and missiles used by Israel and dropped on innocent civilians in Gaza. One phone call from the USA regime could have ended it at any point. However many other countries are complicity with their tacit approval and neighboring Arab countries have been pretty spinless too in their support
With the release of this report titled: Our Genocide -there is a good chance this will make it okay for more people within Israel itself to speak out and do something about it despite the fact that many there are actually in support of the Gaza
China?s CITY WIDE CASH SEIZURES Begin ? ATMs Frozen, Digital Yuan FORCED Overnight Wed Jul 30, 2025 21:40 | 1 of indy
This story is unverified but it is very instructive of what will happen when cash is removed
THIS STORY IS UNVERIFIED BUT PLEASE WATCH THE VIDEO OR READ THE TRANSCRIPT AS IT GIVES AN VERY GOOD IDEA OF WHAT A CASHLESS SOCIETY WILL LOOK LIKE. And it ain't pretty
A single video report has come out of China claiming China's biggest cities are now cashless, not by choice, but by force. The report goes on to claim ATMs have gone dark, vaults are being emptied. And overnight (July 20 into 21), the digital yuan is the only currency allowed.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3All protesters are becoming more aware of just how corrupt our country is. There is no semblence of democracy in Fianna Fail's Ireland
As Ireland has become the new occupied state of SHELLEIRE it is up to the true patriots of OLD IRELAND to rescue it from the criminals that have betrayed us.
The fight has to be taken against the instigators of this treasonous crime.
Up to this point in time we have been peacefully trying to stop Shell and neglecting to bring the protest to the politicians that are the main enemy of democratic Ireland. The disgracefull allowance of American military use of Shannon is but another example of the treachery of the Fianna Fail green government.
If the Eircom takeover involving the Israeli company goes ahead it will be another nail in the coffin for a free independant Irish nation.
These people do not fight by the queensbury rules they fight dirty, and we should folow their example.
WE have to change tactics= Don't give them warning when we plan an action
Start a campaign of action country wide to harrass the Gardai who no longer honour their attestation oathes (TO PROTECT THE HUMAN RIGHTS OF IRISH CITIZENS) they no longer represent the ordinary people they are obliged to protect but now represent the criminal politicians and their multinational friends instead.
Fianna Fail in particular have betrayed the citizens of Ireland and have led us to financial ruin. They commit the crimes knowing that they will not be punished for them. the TAXPAYER WILL.
The opposition play a game of pretense and do not have the courage to stop the ongoing crime, so it is now up to the people to change this. WE HAVE TO PUNISH THEM.
CALL MEETINGS TO PLAN A NEW CAMPAIGN AND KEEP THEM PRIVATE= by word of mouth only. If we need to use mobile's we need an agreed code. This will require a lot of effort and planning but we have no choice anymore.
VOTE NO TO LISBON
A formal request to search the Hercules plane was made to the Gardai at Shannon Garda Station around 6.30. Shortly after Edward had to leave, two Gardai informed me - as they always do - that they could not search the plane without "evidence". They even went as far as to say it would be “a human rights abuse” to do so; I reminded them of the far more serious human rights abuses that were being condoned and which they were turning a blind eye to at Shannon airport.
As the only way to get the Gardai to even acknowledge the request was to have it submitted in writing at the station, I went there to do so. Not surprisingly, I have not had the courtesy of a call from Shannon Gardai since making my request. Amnesty note that it is impossible to ascertain what sort of investigations have been carried out by the Gardai into reports of suspicious aircraft, as there is a virtual blanket exemption for them from requests which touch on ‘state security’ issues under Freedom of Information Acts. But my guess is that the US military or navy don’t get asked many questions by the Shannon Gardai.
Nonetheless the importance of making these requests cannot be overstated. They are not vexatious or self-indulgent; rather, they are one of the few things we can do in the absence of any system to identify aircraft that are using Irish airports to effect renditions.
Earlier in the day, a copy of the Amnesty report was presented to Inspector Tom Kennedy at the entrance to the airport. Inspector Kennedy was reminded of the evidence that already existed of Shannon’s involvement in illegal renditions, and of the Gardai’s responsibilities for the detection and investigation of criminal acts. Let us hope that he takes note of the report’s calls in the report for clear and agreed criteria for inspections, and pushes for them, so that he can one day tell the people of Shannon that he helped stop the illegal and immoral torture flights and the transportation of deadly weapons through their town.
The Amnesty report published this weekend mainly covers the use of planes masquerading as civilian aircraft that have been part of the US rendition programme. These have been documented regularly at Shannon, with suspicious aircraft continuing to land there (see http://www.shannonwatch.org/flightreports.htm). However it is known that US military aircraft have also been used for renditions; in August 2008, for example, the New York Times said that the US military had secretly handed over more than 200 militants to the intelligence services of Saudi Arabia, Egypt and other countries, nearly all in the past two years (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/28/washington/28detain.html)
As the sightings of known CIA-associated planes has decreased at Shannon over the past few months, there has been an increase in military aircraft landing there. If these planes are not searched now, will we find out in another 2 years that they were probably carrying prisoners too?
Last year 7 milion euro of tax payers money was used to secure shannon Airport form anti-war activists from repeating the embarassment caused the government when two US warplanes were immobilised in 2003,(the same one twice acatually),
Bertie Aherne lied when he said that !,5 million in damage was done to the US warplane damaged by Mary Kelly the first time,the real figure was closer to 70,000 euro, or dollars but who cares.. The catholic workers were accused of 2.5 million...which was never contested in their last trial because the jury acquitted all unanimously....
With a death toll in Iraq now at 1.2 million directly from the war and another 1 million because of the war and the continnueing death toll to soar endlessley for 40 years if you are to believe Tont Bliar abd GW bush, the irish government and its allies in opposition will not lift a finger to prevent, slow down or stop altogether, this attrocity in its tracks...
Bertie Aherne said it would be seen as a hostile act to close Shannon to the US military........
I believe he is a daily communicant......
The opposition support the silence, so do the church. The indifference shown to innocent lives being taken in Iraq with Irelands help is astonishing, You would think the majority of Irish citizens have turned sociopath.......definately passive facists....
